Fantastic service from Jeremy, rather than having to write out 'Concept Advance Scheme Hedgefund' on the cheque he said I could just put the initials Thumbs Up

Makes sense to me.......£500 down on a car which although not yet produced, puts you at the front of the queue when they are.......The only 'cost' is the loss of interest on the money which, at the moment, amounts to not a lot (£62.43 @4% p.a over 3 years.........and where are you getting 4% these days?)

But it happens all the time, more so with prestige cars, there will be a list for the next Ferrari etc and those with there name first in line will be the first to receive a car before joining a long waiting list. Some will even sell their build slot on for a huge premium.

I have seen these sold on for a £20k profit without the car even built and I'm sure there are many examples well above that. For some they do this as a business and I don't think desperation is the word

^^ probably there are indeed better words for this than desperation... but why pay a deposit on something which will merely be another mass produced new car which you don't even know yet how it will look like or anything else? It is not exactly a new Ferrari of which only a handful will leave the assembly every day.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Neither was the Evoque bit that was still sold on at a profit by those first in the queue either before it came off the line or after having 6 months use and a few k miles
